The sanctuary of the Madonna del Popolo stands on top of the Cherasco hill and overlooks the beautiful surrounding mountains. The construction of the church, designed by Sebastiano Taricco, with the collaboration of the architects Rocca and Crappa, began in 1693 and was completed in 1702. The building, with its imposing exposed brick façade, probably lacking the final plaster and adorned with two rows of columns, scenographically closes, like an architectural backdrop, via dell’Ospedale. The sanctuary is characterized by the complex polygonal plan on which the presbytery, the choir and the imposing dome are grafted. The interior, in which the use of light tones prevails, especially white and pink, is determined by the collaboration of Taricco, designer and also decorator of the decorations, of Domenico Beltramelli, executor of the stuccos, and of Giancarlo Aliberti who is responsible for the frescoes of the Augustinian saints, the Glory of Saint Augustine and the Assumption, dating back to the early eighteenth century. On the sides of the presbytery are the wooden statues depicting Saint Joseph and Saint John the Evangelist and two canvases by Pietro Metey from the Camaldolese Hermitage, while the choir is decorated with the Madonna with the saints Solutore, Avventore and Ottavio by Taricco and the Madonna and Saint Clare of Montefalco by Pietro Paolo Operti. Among the side chapels, profoundly remodeled during the nineteenth century by order of the Somaschi fathers, the Rosary chapel stands out, in which the wooden statue of the Madonna is located surrounded by the representation of the Mysteries of the Rosary. With the abandonment of the Somaschi, the church was included among the diocesan sanctuaries in 1988 and more recently it has been the subject of a complete restoration.
